Why oh why don't they let airport passengers use Heathrow Express or
Connect as an alternative

They do, don't they? = or are you saying Heathrow Express wasn't
running either?


They stopped allowing tube passengers from using HEx as an alternative
ages
ago. They also seem to have an awful lot of engineering possessions
closing
all four tracks between Hammersmith and Acton Town.

However, the fact remains that the service was there and Colin *chose* not
to use it.

You had a number of options at various prices for the journey. You
took a choice for the price you were prepared to pay, and that's the
service you got.


The best option by far for me with luggage is normally the Piccadilly
Line.


.... but only if it's running. It wasn't and, knowing this (complete with
those three large cases plus smaller bags, a wife with a broken arm and
six-year-old granddaughter) you *chose* to use the service that was on offer
for the price you payed.


Heathrow Express goes to a useless destination


Hang on a minute, in your original post you said

Why oh why don't they let airport passengers use Heathrow Express
